BigDotNet , in Monster of Avignon says it was his WIFE'S fault he drugged her for dozens of men to rape

With so many women willing to do anything for money he had to go against his wife’s consent… he belongs behind bars for being dumb.

I think that’s really all you need. The rest is just… kinda… not good.

BigDotNet ,

For most you don’t like the reality isn’t an excuse to excude it.

the_tab_key ,

You’re implying that if there weren’t other women willing to do so, it would be ok for him to drug his wife without consent.

BigDotNet , (edited )

There is no excuse to go against someone’s consent. Period.

@chemical_cutthroat@lemmy.world avatar

Ok friend, I’ll spell it out for you, just so going forward you don’t have an excuse when making the same mistake.

With so many women willing to do anything for money

Other women have nothing to do with this story. With so many other people getting this right, you have no excuse for getting it so wrong.

he belongs behind bars for being dumb.

Stupidity isn’t a jailable offense. If it was, I’d have you brought up on charges. Instead, he belongs in jail because he broke the law. He is a terrible person, and his actions are irredeemable, but I could say the same about Mother Teresa. This man belongs in jail because he broke the law.

BigDotNet , (edited )

I mean, just someone very dumb could do such thing to his wife if out there are a lot of people doing worst shit for money, I get it if he is broke but if not he it’s just being plain dumb that’s it.

Did you just randomly delete words from your response?

BigDotNet ,

Maybe it’s my instance, I’m in lemmy.ml which sometimes it’s very politically correct.

Maeve ,

I'm curious if you consider yourself communist or socialist?

BigDotNet ,

Beside knowing marxist-leninist theory, I don’t consider myself fully into it. I think there are some stuff which it’s based about it but I believe isn’t realist to believe all the theory it’s law.

Maeve ,

Your prior comment doesn't agree with it. Thanks for answering.

Brkdncr ,

This is a pretty poor take. You care to try again?

kibiz0r , in Unlocked, loaded guns more common among parents who give kids firearm lessons

Risk compensation

Risk compensation is a theory which suggests that people typically adjust their behavior in response to perceived levels of risk, becoming more careful where they sense greater risk and less careful if they feel more protected.[2] Although usually small in comparison to the fundamental benefits of safety interventions, it may result in a lower net benefit than expected or even higher risks.[3][n 1]

2pt_perversion ,

Yeah probably this. It feels okay to be more lax once your kid knows how to handle a gun because of the perceived lower chance that the kid accidentally discharges the gun they find.

But kids trained in gun safety also purposely shoot themselves and others, and also still make dumb decisions and accidentally shoot themselves and others. And a lot parents probably don’t want to think about those scenarios in my experience.

Nuke_the_whales , in James Earl Jones, Distinguished Actor and Voice of Darth Vader, Dies at 93

I was watching a video a few weeks back in where he talked about being paid only 7k to do Vader’s voice in the original, but to him that was a huge score cause it was only for 2.5 hours of voice work. Insane that it became the most iconic villain voice ever

tacosanonymous , in Samuel Alito accepted concert tickets from conservative German aristocrat

And he’d do it again. No one will stop him.

There is no longer a need for a pretense of decorum, ethics, or civility.

Nuke_the_whales , in She ate a poppy seed salad just before giving birth. Then they took her baby away.

So what happened?? There’s no conclusion after her kid was taken

deo ,

I heard her talking about it on NPR earlier today. She did get her kid back, but it was a whole fucking ordeal she and her family should have never had to go through in the first place (and thank god she had the resources to fight it)

Eagles and whales, our species is fucked if they get the emus next.

GooberEar , in Legendary actor James Earl Jones dies at 93

To make this all about me, me, me: Another part of my childhood is now gone. But I have to say, 93 years of living a good life is something to aspire to! I can only hope I live that long or live half as amazing a life. I can also only hope to have that deep of a voice. DOES IT HELP IF I TYPE IN ALL CAPS TO DEMONSTRATE?

ayyy , in Legendary actor James Earl Jones dies at 93

Do not want!

nokturne213 , in Four Golden Eagle Attacks in Five Days

They are conspiring with the orcas and bringing the attacks to land (from the air).

Drusas , (edited ) in US says white supremacist group tried to incite followers on Telegram to spark race war

I'll never understand why these assholes think that taking down a power grid will incite a race war.

What the fuck do black people or Hispanic people or immigrants have to do with whether or not the electricity is on? Surely there is no one out there who thinks the electricity keeps running because black people exist...right? I mean, they can't logically blame it going out on black people (or whoever else), what with them being here right now and infrastructure being fine (well, not fine, but functioning).

I know there's no logic to it. But usually I can at least see what the extremist propagandists are aiming to exploit. And I just really cannot connect energy infrastructure to race. It boggles the mind.

Guitarfun ,

I think they’re thinking that people like them are in the majority and they’re trying to incite the most desperate or violent racists to start attacking minorities under the cloak of darkness. I’ve worked and spoken with crazy right wing assholes my whole life. They’re the type of people who would easily murder or rape if they think no one is watching and they can get away with it.

The funny thing is religion used to reign a lot of them in. The true believers actually felt like God watched their every move, but most church goers don’t even really act like they believe the shit they spew anymore.

rhythmisaprancer ,
@rhythmisaprancer@moist.catsweat.com avatar

I'm not sure that religion reigns anyone in. It isn't structured that way from my understanding, leaving too much to interpretation by the leaders. In my experience, exceptionally racist and activist folks are also religious, and use their chosen religion to support and motivate their actions and beliefs. You're right in that people who are good followers of whatever will be more pacifist (you didn't say that exactly but I think that is what you were at), but there aren't that many folks who get deep into scripture. In many religions.

Guitarfun ,

I’m just speaking from experience growing up in churches. The people who would go to church and only behave because they think God is watching are the people trying to get their reward from it. I’ve known some really decent people, but they were very rare. The majority were there for themselves.

The thing is I’ve seen many of those same people keep the rhetoric, but leave the churches for the most part.

rhythmisaprancer ,
@rhythmisaprancer@moist.catsweat.com avatar

That's pretty fair. My experience (while young) was similar. I am mainly speaking to the racist side of things, that seems to apply to religions including, and outside of, Christianity. At some level, it's like politics. Some folks will vote Democrat because that's what they do, some will because they see that as their best option, and some will be activists within that system to foment change. But politics in USA is not religion if you are left leaning so it is harder with fewer real options. Probably no racists vote for Democrats.

If you take out the power, people will get desperate in a matter of days if not hours.

Tensions will rise and they’ll strike out randomly looking for scape goats, which, typically, are minorities.

peopleproblems ,

No they won’t. Parts of Texas without power for over a week even after floods cleared, and no one rioted.

kent_eh ,

Thinking things through isn’t something most racists are skilled at.

Drusas , in Five charged with kidnapping migrants in US to demand families pay ransom

Alright, I'm very much a prison reform sort of person, but this is the sort of thing that should get you locked away forever. This is the sort of activity that shows who you really, truly are and always will be.

aport , in US says white supremacist group tried to incite followers on Telegram to spark race war

What a fucking surprise

The monster of Avignon is way too cool of a nickname to give to the scumbag.
